Re: spacing: units in math

[Andreas Mang <mang@imt.uni-luebeck.de>]

Hi there,

sorry for being such a pain in the neck. 

Is there going to be a solution considering the spacing problems with the use of units (native mkiv command) in near future (within 2-3 weeks)? If there is none and I am not doing something wrong, I'll add a local work around every time I use units. As this is much work, I'd appreciate if someone told me if this is something that might be fixed soon. If not I'm good - I just need to know.

Explanation of my problem: Maybe I am doing something wrong, but in the resulting document the spacing is bigger in math mode then in the text mode in case I use \units{...}. In particular, the distance for the decimal separator is as if I would type $1,2$ instead of $1{,}2$ (example: $\units{1,2}$).  

Thanks.

Cheers,
Andreas
